What a wonderful experience whitewater rafting. We had an outstanding guide and a super day to be on the river. Could not rate the experience more highly. We (6) had little experience with rapids and we were able to negotiate, with the help of the guide, with ease. We hired the photographer (Bela) and the shots going through the rapids will forever cement the experience.

We had a reservation for a canoe; we didn't go on a tour.

They seemed a bit understaffed, as one person was handling each customer coming in. That said, it really didn't take that long and I don't see knocking it down a star for that. The gentleman who helped us what polite and informative and got us ready quickly once he had other customers taken care of.

The canoe was nice - clean and comfortable. We paddled up to Willamette Falls and saw quite a few seals along the way (something I didn't expect this far inland). It was great and returning our canoe was easy.

The cost was reasonable and we'll go back.

This was my first rafting experience ever and man was I glad I went with this company. They provided us with all the proper gear and then some to keep us dry and safe. Our guide was awesome, he gave great conversation and even though the weather wasn't great he made the trip fun. Rafting on the Santiam is a great beginner raft trip. Everything about this trip was fun and enjoyable and I would recommenced it to anyone who is looking to get into rafting or looking for another river to conquer.

Great time on the river with our guide Archie! I've been wanting to try this out for a while and found the rental and lesson a great intro. I learned the fundamentals and feel confident about going out on my own now. Archie taught us about technique and safety on the river--very useful stuff! Definitely would recommend it to anyone interested in SUP boarding.

I tried Stand Up Paddle SUP for the first time. I was impressed at the knowledge of the guides as we paddled along the Willamette River in historical Oregon City. My experience was relaxing, fun and scenic. Couldn't have asked for a better outing. Would love to return with my family as it would be great for kids too!

Not sure if this place is in business anymore. Multiple call/voicemails and emails in are not being responded to. As a result, we were not able to use our Groupon before it expired. At this point, I believe this company is a fraud. Avoid at all costs. I would give these guys a 1-star, but I don't 'hate' them. I would have given them 1-star otherwise. Disappointing and disgruntled, yes. Will I ever go back? Depends on how they handle my refund. That is, IF i can ever get a hold of them...

I have come in multiple times to rent now and have been treated with respect and amazing customer service each time. This last time though, Lee went above and beyond, she was so informative and helpful, patient, great sense of humor! Such an amazing employee! Thank you for your help!!

Spent the day on the water kayaking with Kurt and Sam on the Willamette River just below the falls, the second biggest in the country! Just a gorgeous day, truly amazing history (no spoilers from me!), and nature! Saw bald eagles, osprey, and some massive sea lions (who shouldn't really be there, but still cool to see up close!). And so close to Portland, as well as right in the heart of Oregon City, which also has lots of great eats and drinks!

Was looking into a SUP. I believe the person who helped us was Kurt. Very nice and gave us plenty of options. End of season sale was an amazing deal. Thanks. Have also rented a kayak there in the past. Lots of fun.

This was a good time and highly recommended to others! We did the Willamette Falls kayaking tour. The tour leader was very helpful and knowledgeable of the area. Equipment was newer and in great shape. Very well done!

Sam is really patient and kind. My family had a blast checking out Willamette Falls in kayaks. My son is 10 and my daughter is 4 and we are still working on her swimming. Everyone was in life jackets and we had a blast paddling and swimming on a hot day. I would highly recommend eNRG for a fun family day either kayaking on the Santiam or paddling up to Willamette Falls. eNRG has great gear and a very capable staff!

Super polite and professional. Had some technical difficulties with a kayak on our first day, but they went above and beyond to make it right. I highly recommend eNRG, and will be doing business with them in the future. Thanks so much!

Awesome beginner kayaking instruction. Can't wait to learn more and go on a whitewater kayaking trip and also try white water rafting. The staff were all friendly and helpful all equipment was provided on site, we had a group of 5 people and everyone had an awesome time. Great variety of trips for beginners and experts available, tons of different types of kayaks and stand up paddle boards available to just rent too.

This crew is phenomenal! They are willing to show you the ins and outs of the river while teaching some to papple with little or no experience. For those of us who are experienced, they can take you to the next level of an extremely impressive stretch of river and show it to you as you've not seen it before. Teaching you new and fun techniques while enjoying all the beautiful scenery the stretch has to offer Paddle on!!

My two boys and I had the opportunity to go on the Willamette Falls tour as part of group with the Clackamas Web Academy. The staff was great! Informative and patient. They made an outing for 3 first time kayakers a blast. I highly recommend them and their services. Thanks for working with the school to bring some new opportunities to both me and my children!

We rented a tandem kayak and were out for 1:15. We paddled up to Willamette Falls and back. We saw sea lions and sturgeon along with various water fowl. We were able to paddle into a river lock which was pretty cool. We had a pretty decent view of the falls. There are a lot of old paper mill structures around there some dating back to the 1800s.
The folks that helped us were very nice and answered any questions we had. The cost was $47.

I'm mobility impaired, and two of the employees, Conner and Ethan, patiently helped get me and my kayak to and from my car to the water. Having been mostly homebound for years, their assistance meant the world to me.

I'm so pleased with our experience today with eNRG Kayaking and our tour guide, Josh. My mother-in-law was in town, so I chose to do the 90-minute Willamette Falls tour as I expected it would be pretty easy and we could always slow down or turn back if needed. Josh provided all the necessary safety information and encouragement needed. She was off and running! Or, uh, paddling. A really fun experience for the whole family. Highly recommended!

Located at a convenient spot on the Willamette, they offer rentals at a reasonable price as well as tours. The relaxing ride upto the falls are very enjoyable and a must do. In addition you can have sightings of massive sturgents jumping out of the water and sea lions relaxing by the rocks nearby.

My wife and I really enjoyed this tour. Our guide was quite knowledgeable about the history of the area and it was fascinating to learn some very interesting and surprising details. We enjoyed seeing a couple of sea lions, ospreys, and even a large sturgeon jumping out of the water during our tour. The staff were very professional from start to finish.

This was a GREAT experience! Our tour guides were a blast! We had such a fun time and the sun yachts and info they shared was great! Who knew Teens and Edison worked together and in Oregon?!! The your length was just right, we got about 90 minutes of water time. The wife was show the following day. You can get single or 2x person kayaks which is nice. We brought our older daughter and her boyfriend and we all had a really good time together. Great little thing to do together to bond and make some fun memories. Highly suggest to shut family that wants to do something "different" together.

Nice launch point, easy run to the falls, they help stabilize getting on and off. Can get SUP, kayak (sit on top). NOTE my Google GPS could NOT figure out the entrance and the instructions from site aren't clear. Make sure, if you haven't been here before, that your GPS is going to the parking lot otherwise you have to loop around the block or bridges.
